Mechanical ventilation in a sauna with an electric heater
Attention should be paid to the ventilation in the sauna room. Due to proper ventilation, the
sauna‐goers can enjoy clean and fresh, oxygen‐rich air. The air in the sauna should change six
times in one hour. The fresh air pipe should be located on top of the heater either in the wall or
the ceiling, at approximately 500 mm from the heater and the diameter of the pipe should be 50–
100 mm. The exhaust air pipe should be as far away from the heater as possible, yet close to the
floor. The exhaust air pipe should be twice the size of the supply air pipe.
